No tax paid on first 25k of earnings
20% up to 35k (so if your wage was 40k, first 25k is disregarded, rest taxed)
30% up to 50k (25k disregarded. 20% on 15k, plus 30% on 10k)
40% up to 60k
50% on everything above 100k. Something like that anyway...

We could get away with lower taxes on middle/high earners if large corporations paid their taxes like everyone else has to...

Also I know Milliband has said this so often it sounds a joke now, but I would tax bankers bonuses too Infact I don't think the fatcats should get bonuses at all until we are out of the recession that they contributed to.

VAT would be gone. Awful awful tax. Meant to be a tax on luxuries and has evolved into an excuse to charge us more for pretty much everything...

The fucking greedy British banks were a MAJOR cause of the Property Market collapse to start with when they they bought up as many US ‘bad’ mortgage loans as they could and exposed themselves to billions of pounds worth of losses when the US Housing market imploded.

The corrupt government bailed out these greedy bastards and preserved their businesses and fat cat jobs and every 'caveat' which the government put into place (for the sake of being seen by the public to be 'doing the right thing') has been ignored, and almost immediately, the bankers used the tax payers bail out money to reward themselves for abject failure' with million pound bonuses.

Which is just one of a Hundred reasons why Farage is getting my vote.
